Hillary has a shot at florida, but certainly not texas or ark. Even
Bill never came close to winning texas. According to the latest
presidential polls, these are the swing states: Ohio, PA, FL, WI, MN,
IA, MI, NV, NM, CO, NH. All the other states are probably already
decided no matter who the parties nominate. Basically it's the upper
midwest plus florida that will decide the election, just like the last
2. Dems don't need to worry about the south, just hold states like
Iowa, Wisc, Michigan and Penn. and try to pick up Ohio or Florida. I
think all of the 3 dems have a shot at this, esp if economy is weak.
